School in Uruguay teaches students to live in harmony with nature

Students in a Uruguayan school are learning how to live in harmony with nature.

A school in Uruguay is teaching students how to live in harmony with nature. The school in Montevideo promotes sustainable values such as protecting nature.

Latin America's first sustainable public school is made of recycled items and powered by clean energy.

The 270-square-meter school is not connected to the national electricity grid or any potable water network. It uses a system to filter rainwater.

The school's 43 students cultivate tomatoes, basil and strawberries that will end up on their plates. The construction of the building cost 315,000 dollars. 

As part of the experiment in green citizenship, some children participated in the construction of the school.

This type of green architecture is meant to create self-sufficient communities powered by natural energies and fed by organic food.
